Why would anybody want a prequel that stars a character that meant nothing in DmC and wasn't even part of the DMC lore?

It speaks volume to how interesting some people consider the characters to be in DmC; that they have to latch onto a character that's completely detached from the events of DmC in a desperate attempt to make any follow-up sequel remotely compelling.

Because it's a character we know almost nothing about. These characters we have now in DmC were ruined thanks to the original devil may cry fanboys. Therefore it could easily be a quick way to reverse the situation of DmC's failure. :)
